Città e stati che ho visitato
I have visited far too few places in the world. I would still like to discover Scandinavia. I have already been able to mark Stockholm off the list, what a beautiful city. I would love to go back again. I would also like to visit Africa and get to know the Japanese culture.

I miei interessi nelle altre culture
Mainly the way in which people live and the vision on life. I recently saw a short report about the South Korean society. During the Olympics, we see the Koreans laughing, but those who talk to them for longer, discover that Korean society is anything but happy. At a K-pop concert during the Games, young people tell the NOS (a Dutch newsprogram) that they feel tremendous pressure to perform. "We are far too busy and have almost no free time, as a result of which many people become depressed", says a girl. Suicide is committed every 40 minutes. It is not fun to read such a thing, but it intrigues me. How is it possible that the society came to this point? On the other hand, I find it very interesting to read how, for example, the Scandinavian culture works. There are real parking spaces for strollers in Denmark. And Dutch fathers are entitled to 2 days off when their child is born. In Norway there are 60. Fathers from Finland and Denmark are also a lot better with at least 10 days of leave. That's fantastic, isn't it? It's interesting how different people live anywhere in the world. And it's exciting to know about it.
